“Well, I usually call them all she until we find out for sure. It’s an old habit I picked up years ago,” He said with a laugh.

After Dr. Wyatt and the nurse left the room, I sat there for a few seconds, looking at the picture I held in my hand of my peanut. I placed my hands on my stomach, I closed my eyes.
“We just need to hold off another month, baby. Once Daddy finds out that the evil witch is not carrying his child, we can tell him about you. There’s no fucking way- oh god! Oh. My. God! I just swore at you. Oh, holy shit, I’m gonna make a piss-ass mother. OH! My! GOD! I did it again!”
I jumped down off the table and quickly got dressed.
I wondered how Heather doing with the use-your-boobs-on-Bruce- to “find-out-any-information-about-Rebecca. I couldn’t believe how much she belly ached about wearing a low cut-shirt. I’d simply asked her to flirt with him and then ask her friend, Rebecca. Somehow I was counting on tit-loving Bruce to spill the beans.
The moment I walked out into the waiting room, I heard Ellie raising her voice. Who the hell is she talking to that loud?
“Listen, you don’t own this doctor’s office, lady. Ari has been coming here for years, so you need to back the fuck off!”
Holy hell. I stopped dead in my tracks.
Rebecca.
Ellie looked up when she saw me. She immediately came over and stood next to me.
“What are you doing here? Your appointment isn’t until next week,” I said in a stunned voice.
Rebecca just smiled at me and tilted her head.
“So, Jeff shares that information with you, does he? He really is excited about this baby. I wish you could have seen the way he smiled at me when he had his hands on my stomach Saturday. Oh wait…you can’t because you’re not supposed to be anywhere near me. ”
“Listen here, bitch,” Ellie started to get in Rebecca’s face.
As I pulled her back, I said,
“I had a doctor’s appointment, Rebecca. How was I supposed to know that you would be here? Wait, where is Jeff? Does he know your appointment is today?”
Rebecca’s face fell for just one brief moment. “I tried to call him a few times today to let him know I had to move it. ”
I looked down at her stomach. No way. This bitch was about to pop.
Smiling , I walked up to her.
“I’m on to you, Rebecca. Whatever game you think you’re gonna win, you won’t. You see, I don’t play very nice on the play-ground with other kids I don’t like. I win when I choose to, sweetheart, and I don’t like to lose. If you think for one minute that I’m to just gonna sit back and let you take Jeff away from me, you have another thing coming. Pregnant or not, bitch, I will take your ass down. ”
Rebecca’s smile faded. She looked over my shoulder at Ellie and then over at Heather who was still standing by Bruce. Heather really does look like a slut dressed the way she is.
“Bruce, can you please call the police? She just threatened me, and I actually have a restraining order out against her. ” Rebecca said.
I looked at Bruce, who looked totally confused. The new girl sitting next to Bruce immediately picked up the phone and started to talk to someone.
I turned back to see Rebecca smiling at me.
“I hope you have fun sitting in jail, Ari. ”
The next thing I knew, Ellie was pulling me out of the way as she got all up in Rebecca’s face.
“You will get what is coming to you. You will not get away with this. You’re not only messing with my best friend, you whore, you’re messing with my brother. Have you ever heard of karma? That bitch is going to come back around and bite you in the fucking ass, you douche-twat whore!”
“Ellie!” Heather said as she tried to pull her away from Rebecca.
“Um, miss I’m going to have to ask you to leave. I can’t have you…um, yelling at our patients. ” Bruce said.
